METHOD FOR INDUCING ALVEOLAR EPITHELIUM PROGENITOR CELLS

摘要

This invention provides a method for stably producing alveolar epithelial progenitor cells from pluripotent stem cells. Specifically, the method for producing alveolar epithelial progenitor cells comprises steps of culturing pluripotent stem cells in (1) a medium containing activin A and a GSK3² inhibitor, (2) a medium containing a BMP inhibitor and a TGF² inhibitor, and (3) a medium containing BMP4, retinoic acid, and a GSK3² inhibitor.
